Fans Compel Grateful Dead to Replace Free Concert Downloads

San Francisco - Following a report in The New York Times, about backlash from Grateful Dead fans over a reported decision to have live recordings of its concerts removed from a free downloads site, the band has apparently reversed its stance and called for the show downloads to return, CNET News.com reported. The Live Music Archive said it may have misunderstood the band's wishes, and has reposted both amateur recordings, and "soundboard" recording downloads -- which the band also sells on its own website. "We are musicians not businessmen and have made good and bad decisions on our journey," Dead bassist Phil Lesh wrote, in a note on his website. "We do love and care about our community as you helped us make the music. Your concerns have been heard and I am sure are being respectfully addressed."
